    Maybe because less people use it there is less chance of hackers and security issues? Just a wild guess

    python is very readable and compact. I call it beautiful.
    "Python comes with batteries included": there is a very complete and consistent standard API for many different tasks and platforms. (
    In short, it is very pleasant to work with, and thus possibly makes programmers more efficient.

    Once I heard that, all things considered, Google would only use C and Python. C because it's fast. Python because, well... Python is a beauty.

    Then I heard Google also allows Java. And the reason is because there are a lot of programmers doing Java nowadays, so, even if they don't want to, the "smart people" are using it.

    Back to Python, it is:

    short
    concise
    complete
    readable (even after several months)
    comprehensible (you can easily read others code, and vice-versa)

    Plus, they don't have to worry about "speed". Not that Python is slow, specially considering Java, but Google solves "slow" (at least slower than C) by throwing more hardware at the problem ;)
